Selectmen set workshops and hearings on TIF and solar moratorium; review Community Resilience grant and land‑purchase estimates
Summary
Roxbury selectmen scheduled a TIF non-profit grant workshop and a solar moratorium public hearing for June 23, reviewed a Community Resilience grant application for local streams, and directed staff to clarify a lower-cost land‑purchase estimate.
The Roxbury Board of Selectmen used part of its June 10 meeting to schedule ordinance and policy work and to review grant and land‑purchase options. The board set a workshop on the TIF Non‑Profit Grant Policy for June 23 at 5:00 p.m. and scheduled a public hearing on a proposed Solar Moratorium Ordinance for June 23 at 5:30 p.m.
Board members reviewed a Community Resilience grant application covering Daniels Stream, Currivan Stream and Public Beach Stream and discussed an accompanying Chairperson’s letter. The board also considered two estimates for an option to purchase land: Mainland quoted $37,700–$40,900, while Pine Tree quoted $18,000. Selectman Ray Hodsdon moved that staff inquire with Pine Tree to clarify the scope of work included at that price; Selectman Matthew Patneaude seconded and the motion passed 2-0.
The board described several ordinance items as returned from the lawyer or pending workshop, including a food truck ordinance and pay policy scheduling. The minutes show the board is using the June 23 meeting as a focal point to advance multiple policies and public hearings.
